"everybody do kung fu fighting..." - can't remember the title eye of the tiger or i'll just watch the fight scenes on "the one" (Jet Li)

I'd like to be invisible. As I'm sure would most teenage boys....just to see what everyone really thinks about them ofcourse..

Yeah but I won't hold that against him ...

Hi

Glad to see you did start the thread Sasori_Te Try and keep it civil please people as it has the potential to get closed if were not careful I personally think that comercial schools can offer a high standard of teaching, they just have to get a good student base, with students who are in it for the training and not just to "buy" a black belt. In fact, I believe that comercial schools, meaning a school that the instructor makes his/her living from COULD be some of the best in the world as the instructor will be able to devote the majority of his or her time to perfecting their understanding of their chosen art and then teaching it to the next generation of MA's. What do you think?

Hi

Hello, good to see more fellow GKR members on the forums

lol, nice one

Open a new thread about it then, it should be interesting.

Is this the same one you mentioned in your previous post?.. Its probably a bad idea for the reasons mentioned above.

I used to flirt a bit with a girl in one of my classes but neither of us would have let it go any further, just an unwritten rule I suppose. Although saying that I know at least two couples who met through our club and are now married.

I've heard that one before..

lol, nice one

^ I agree with what you say in part. I don't quite get what you mean by saying they can't teach the way they want to though, can you explain abit more? I would say that when a comercial club becomes big enough they are more able to teach in the way they want to teach and do not have to worry about going all out to keep members by giving away BB etc:

I work full time for my club (GKR), but not teaching full time (waiting for BB) we spend our days training and recruitingnew members, the money is O.K but I think its about the best job in the world, devoting time to something you love - and getting paid for it.

My white belt has pride of place alongside all my other past belts, IMO white is the most important belt you can ever have, you can't get a brown, ..pink?.. or a black belt without first having had a black belt.

I would say im probably fast enough to get a head kick in on alot of people, but I would go for the solar plexus (sternum) anyway, just in case.

But wrists are easier to grab than thumbs, - not that there's anything wrong with thumb-grabbing Very true. But easier is not always better, being grabbed by the thumbs is (IMO) more effective and, for the attacker, more painful. I suppose it depends on the situation, if you can go for the thumbs, if not, go for the wrists.
